PinchBot: Long-Horizon Deformable Manipulation with Guided Diffusion Policy
Alison Bartsch, Arvind Car, Amir Barati Farimani
Pottery creation is a complicated art form that requires dexterous, precise and delicate actions to slowly morph a block of clay to a meaningful, and often useful 3D goal shape. In…
RT-Cache: Training-Free Retrieval for Real-Time Manipulation
Owen Kwon, Abraham George, Alison Bartsch +1
Real robots are expected to repeat the same behavior in new environments with very little new data, yet modern controllers either incur heavy per-step inference or require deployme…
Planning and Reasoning with 3D Deformable Objects for Hierarchical Text-to-3D Robotic Shaping
Alison Bartsch, Amir Barati Farimani
Deformable object manipulation remains a key challenge in developing autonomous robotic systems that can be successfully deployed in real-world scenarios. In this work, we explore…
PLATO: Planning with LLMs and Affordances for Tool Manipulation
Arvind Car, Sai Sravan Yarlagadda, Alison Bartsch +2
As robotic systems become increasingly integrated into complex real-world environments, there is a growing need for approaches that enable robots to understand and act upon natural…
